Samuel Thomas said he believed art helped people “appreciate the fact that life will get better”

An artist says the coronavirus lockdown has taught him to “slow down, to take the foot off the gas, and to enjoy the smaller things”.

Samuel Thomas, from Norwich, has been sharing his paintings on social media while he is unable to hold exhibitions.

The 33-year-old said during the pandemic, he had found inspiration on walks or cycles in the countryside.

“There is so much joy and wonder surrounding us in our lives, sometimes we just need reminding of it,” he said.

Mr Thomas, who is self-taught, said that lockdown had not changed his working life.

“I have always worked from my home studio spending lots of time alone,” he said.

He said he believed art “still holds value and reverence” even during the coronavirus pandemic.
